CALGARY – With the addition of American Airlines’ seasonal weekly direct flight from Calgary to New York City’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA), YYC Calgary International Airport has reached a milestone offering of 100 non-stop routes. This will be the first non-stop route to LGA in Western Canada and it signifies the strength and value of Calgary as a destination for YYC airline partners.

“This is a significant benchmark for YYC,” says Chris Dinsdale, President & CEO, The Calgary Airport Authority. “We continue to build momentum for Calgary as a destination, and kicking off 2025 with 100 non-stop routes shows the confidence that our partners have in the city and the region’s growth potential. We look forward to welcoming LaGuardia-bound guests and strengthening our ties to the New York City region.” 

In 2024, there were non-stop flights to 94 destinations from YYC. In 2019 there were 82.

American Airlines will offer weekly Saturday flights between YYC and LGA beginning June 7 and operating through August 30. Direct flights between LGA and Canadian destinations are currently only offered through Halifax, Toronto, and Montreal airports. Airline partners offer flights from YYC to the New York City region through Newark and JFK airports.
